We have been working with youth ambassadors across Ontario to Bring ON Biodiversity in their communities!
We are piloting our workshop program aimed at teaching youth in elementary schools about the importance of biodiversity and how they can take action in their communities!
Each class will have two workshops, one hour each in length, with the first workshop focused on appreciation for nature and biodiversity and the second focused on ways to take action locally.
If you are interested in bringing this program to your school, please contact us at onyouthcouncil@gmail.com!
Instagram teach-in series on various topics relating to climate change, biodiversity and what we can do! Stay tuned for posts every Monday, Wednesday and Friday with a new theme every month.
In January 2020 the Ontario Government proposed a Forest Sector Strategy that would double the amount of logging harvest in the province from 15 million to 30 million cubic metres of wood annually.
Sensitive wildlife species such as woodland caribou are already in decline because of the habitat destruction and fragmentation which the government wants to accelerate. The proposed strategy claims that it will promote stewardship and sustainability yet it gives no evidence.
